   / @theh1storybuff   Why did the Mongol Empire collapse after conquering 24 million square kilometers? From Genghis Khan's rise in 1206 to Möngke Khan's death on August 11, 1259, this film traces the Toluid Civil War between Kublai and Ariq Böke and the split into four khanates. It reveals how the Yam relay, succession wars, paper money inflation, religious conversions, and defeats at Ain Jalut and Japan unraveled the Yuan, Golden Horde, Ilkhanate and Chagatai until the final jade seal was handed over in 1635.
